HISTORICAL  AND  MISSIONARY 
EXHIBITION. 


Tins  "  Historical  and  Missionary  Exhibition  "  has  been 
arranged  with  the  strong  hope  and  belief  that  it  will  awaken 
and  deepen  interest  in  the  Church  history,  and  will  quicken 
zeal  tor  missionary  work.  The  objects  contributed  have 
been  assembled  by  the  Assembly's  Committee  of  Arrange- 
ments, in  co-operation  with  the  Presbyterian  Historical 
Society.  They  have  come  from  various  parts  of  the  country 
and  represent  all  the  Boards  of  the  Church,  and  many  of  its 
institutions  of  sacred  and  secular  learning.  To  those  who 
have  contributed,  the  Committee  expresses  cordial  thanks  for 
hearty  co-operation  and  generous  aid. 

It  would  be  impossible  to  assemble  in  one  place  a  com- 
plete illustration  of  the  progress  of  this,  or  of  any  other 
Church,  during  the  nineteenth  century.  But  the  Committee 
ventures  the  hope  that  the  exhibition  will  be  found  a  typical 
one  ;  in  other  words,  that  progress  in  various  fields  of 
Christian  labor  is  so  far  indicated  as  to  give  a  panoramic 
view  of  the  service  that  has  been  attempted  by  the  Church 
during  the  last  hundred  years,  to  save  and  uplift,  to  enlighten, 
comfort  and  aid  mankind. 

The  objects  exhibited  have  been  grouped  under  several 
sections  for  convenience  of  reference,  and  as  far  as  possible, 
are  described  in  the  following  pages. 

The  names  of  persons  lending  exhibits  are  placed  at 
the  close  of  descriptions.  The  exhibits  of  the  various 
Boards,  institutions  and  charities  are  placed  under  their 
appropriate  sections  without  adding  their  names  to  descrip- 
tions. For  economy  of  space  the  numerous  contributions 
of  Mr.  Wm.  J.  Latta  are  designated  by  his  initials  "  W.  J. 
L."  Contributions  prepared  by  the  Committee  of  Arrange- 
ments are  designated  "  Committee." 

At  the  Witherspoon  Building,  Walnut  and  Juniper 
Streets,  in  the  Hall  and  Rooms  of  the  Presbyterian  Historical 
Society,  Fifth  Floor,  a  Special  Exhibition  has  been  prepared 
by  the  Rev.  Dr.  James  Crawford,  of  the  history  and  work  of 
the  Reformed  (Germanj  Church  in  the  United  States,  and  of 
the  United  Presbyterian  Church,  by  Rev.  James  Price,  I).  I). 

The  Exhibit  of  Westminster  Divines  and  of  other  his- 
toric objects  and  persons  i.^  also  now  in  order  and  open  to 
visitors  in  the  same  place.

Genera]  Assembly.  Loaned  by  Tabernacle  Presbyterian

bly of  Divines.  The  field  is  oval  ;  in  the  centre  an 
open  Bible  of  ancient  form,  with  red  edges,  bearing  on 
the  open  page  the  motto,  "The  Word  of  God."  A 
wreath  of  palm,  bound  above  and  below  with  blue 
ribbons,  encircles  the  Bible.  The  field  is  gold,  and  the 
scroll  bears  the  motto,  "The  Scale  for  Approbation  of 
Ministers."  This  seal  was  used  on  the  commissions  of  all 
ministers  approved  to  officiate  in  the  Church  of  England 
during  the  period  of  Presbyterian  power.      Committee. 

Seal,  enlarged  and  colored,  of  the  General  Assembly  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  of  Amer- 
ica. The  general  design  is  similar  to  that  of  the  seal  of 
the  Westminster  Assembly,  namely,  an  open  Bible,  con- 
taining upon  the  dexter  page,  in  a  blue  field,  the  motto, 
" The  Word  of  God."  On  the  sinister  page  the  seal 
of  the  Trustees  of  the  General  Assembly,  namely,  a 
bra/en  serpent  uplifted  upon  a  cruciform  pole,  above 
which  bends  the  motto  of  the  Assembly,  "  Christus  1.x- 
altatus  Salvator," — "  Christ  uplifted,  our  Saviour."  On 
the  top  of  the  pages  are  the  Scripture  references  1  Peter 
i  :  23  and  Jno.  3:  14.  A  demi  wreath  of  palm  bends 
above  the  Bible,  and  beneath  it  a  similar  wreath  of  oak 
and  olive  combined.      Committee. 

Seal,  enlarged  and  colored,  of  the  Trustees  of  the 
Assembly.  In  the  centre  a  circular  field  shows,  standing 
in  the  wilderness,  a  brazen  serpent  uplifted  upon  acruei- 
form  pole  or  cross.  In  the  horizon  the  sun  is  repre- 
sented as  rising.  The  scroll  surrounding  the  design  is  as 
follows:  " Seal  of  Trustees  of  Gen.  Assem.  of  Presb. 
Church  of  I'.  S.  A."  Bent  above  the  cross  is  the  motto 
of  the  General  Assembly,  which,  however,  does  not 
appear  on  the  original  seal.  This  seal  probably  dates 
from  the  eighteenth  century.     Committee.

Missions.  In  the  centre  of  a  blue  field  is  a  globe  in  the 
midst  of  clouds,  which,  on  the  dexter  side,  are  illumi- 
nated by  the  sun  which  is  rising  in  the  east.  On  the

upper  part  of  the  epergne  appears  the  title  of  the  Board,

ary Society  of  the  Presbyterian  Church.  Upon  a  shield 
with  a  red  field  and  silver  border  is  blazoned  a  gold

scribed the  motto,  "Woman's  Work  for  Woman,"  and 
beneath,  on  a  ribbon,  is  the  society's  motto,  "  Teneo  et

United  States.  A  band  hangs  from  either  end  of  the 
trumpet,  upon  which  is  written  the  text,  "  Unto  All  the 
Inhabitants  Thereof."  The  significance  of  the  seal  is 
that  the  Holy  Spirit  commissions  and  empowers  the 
Church  to  proclaim  the  Gospel  of  peace  to  all  the 
people  of  the  United  States.  Upon  the  scroll  is  the 
official  title,  "Seal  of  the  Board  of  Home  Missions  of

the  map  of  the  United  States,  over  which  is  a  ribbon 
scroll  bearing  the  motto,  "  Our  Land  for  Christ."  The 
figure  is  intended  to  represent  the  special  service  of  the 
Board  in  its  school  work  among  the  Mountain  whites 
and  other  destitute  sections  and  among  the  Indians. 
Committee.

sents a  harvest  field,  sheafs  lying  on  the  ground  and 
shocked,  and  part  of  the  field  ungathered.  In  the  fore- 
ground a  venerable  reaper,  his  sickle  lying  at  his  feet, 
his  face  turned  longingly  towards  the  harvest  which  he 
must  abandon.  A  strong  young  reaper  holds  him  by 
one  hand  and  with  the  other  points  towards  a  flower- 
embossed  home,  over  whose  door  is  the  motto,  "  Rest."

ing to  a  physician  or  hospital  helper  who  holds  with  one

the  text,  "  I  was  sick  and  ye  visited  me."     Committee.

self-sacrificing  ministry.  A  circle  surrounding  the  field

and  Jupiter  with  satellites.  From  beneath  the  Bible  and

lamp  upon  a  scroll.  The  whole  symbolism  represents 
the  office  of  the  Board,  to  distribute  the  greater  light  of 
Divine  truth  and  the  lesser  light  of  secular  learning.  A 
wreath  of  columbine  surrounds  the  base  of  the  shield,

The  Rev.  James  Hoge,  of  Ohio.  Dr.  Hoge  was  com- 
missioned as  a  home  missionary  by  the  Assembly  of  1805 
to  the  "State  of  Ohio  and  the  Natchez  district,"  and 
the  next  year  to  the  State  of  Ohio  and  adjacent  parts. 
He  located  at  Columbus  and  became  one  of  the  most 
influential  builders  of  the  new  West.  His  influence  upon 
the  eleemosynary  institutions  of  Ohio  was  dominant,  and

lishments which  have  served  as  the  best  means  to  enable 
our  countrymen  to  acquire  a  fair  knowledge  of  the 
modern  arts  and  sciences  of  the  West.  Your  Societies 
have  started  hospitals  and  dispensaries  to  save  not  only 
souls  but  also  the  bodies  of  our  countrymen.  I  have 
also  to  add  that  in  time  of  famine  in  some  of  the 
provinces  you  have  done  your  best  to  the  greatest  num- 
ber of  sufferers  to  keep  their  souls  and  bodies  together."

is  to  them  we  look  to  carry  the  reputation  of  foreigners

21  The  Genevan  Bible,  Genevan  Edition  of  1569.  This 
is  the  Second  Edition  and  is  rare.  The  Bible  was  trans-

under  the  influence  of  the  Genevan  Colony.  It  is  char- 
acterized by  running  notes  along  the  margin,  giving  an 
explanation  of  the  text.  It  was  the  popular  Bible  among 
the  Puritans  and  Presbyterians  of  England  and  Scotland, 
and  held  its  place  long  after  the  so-called  "  Authorized 
Version  "  had  been  printed.  As  its  comments  favored 
the  Presbyterian  and  Puritan  principles,  it  was  much 
disliked  by  the  high  Anglicans.     Case  B.

Church  of  England  psalter,  intended  to  replace  Stein- 
hold  and  Hopkins.  Copies  were  brought  here  by  the 
Rev.  Nathaniel  Taylor,  and  used  in  the  Presbyterian 
churches  on  the  Western  Shore  of  Maryland. 

9  The  Same,  Cambridge,  1737.  An  early  American 
reprint  of  Tate  and  Brady.  Many  reprints  were  made

troduction of  the  Hymns  followed  soon  upon  the  use  of

and  second  editions  survive.  They  were  thumbed  out 
of  existence.

led  to  the  authorized  revisions.
